《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Jimmy Dean

[00:00:08] Some people say a man is made outta mud

[00:00:11] A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

[00:00:15] Muscle and blood skin and bones

[00:00:18] A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:21] You load sixteen tons an' what do you get

[00:00:25] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:28] St Peter don't you call me cause I can't go

[00:00:32] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:43] I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:47] I picked up a shovel an' I walked out to the mine

[00:00:51] I loaded sixteen tons of Number 9 coal

[00:00:54] An' the store boss said: "Well bless my soul "

[00:00:58] You load sixteen tons an' what do you get

[00:01:02] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:05] St Peter don't you call me cause I can't go

[00:01:09] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:20] I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:24] Fightin' an' trouble was my middle name

[00:01:28] I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion

[00:01:31] Can't no high-toned woman makes me walk the line

[00:01:35] You load sixteen tons an' what do you get

[00:01:39] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:42] St Peter don't you call me cause I can't go

[00:01:46] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:57] If you see me comin' better step aside

[00:02:01] A lotta men didn't an' a lotta men died

[00:02:05] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:02:08] If the right one don't get you then the left one will

[00:02:12] You load sixteen tons an' what do you get

[00:02:16] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:19] St Peter don't you call me cause I can't go

[00:02:25] I owe my soul to the company store
